That is correct. And I will back that up any day. Hon. Zane J. S. De Silva: Mr. Speaker, I can table it if you want. I got it right here.

Mr. Speaker, if I go through here . . . listen, the Government is certainly travelling all over. Dubai is a hot spot right now. So what I would say is this here. I think the National —

The Honourable Member is misleading the House. I did mention it, and I said it was a good initiative. Hon. E. David Burt: You heard me very clearly. So, in this document, there is not a single mention of that fact. And we understand why there was not a single mention of that fact. We’ve got it. Because they cannot …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes. About a year -plus ago we understood that settlement had been made with Oarrs Incorporated. I wanted to know whether or not, or if the Premier can tell us what the settlement was for? They sued for $2 million, the Office of the Tax Commissioner. But what did we settle on?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On congratulatory notes, everyone knows —I declare my interest, I should say —my grandson plays for the Dandy Town Hornets and is a 13- year-old. I just want to congratulate the coaches. They are doing a fantastic job. At this time of the year the national c oaches, Bermuda’s National Team coaches are looking for players …

So, I just want to congratulate the coaches on a fantastic job. They are grooming some great young men and doing a fantastic job. For eight of their team members to be nominated for the National Coach Team! Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and good morning, colleagues. I would just like to send condolences to the family of Steve Parkes, as you read in the paper, better known as “Carpenter.” We spent an extensive amount of time together trying to address the many challenges that we are having with our youth. And he actua lly was part of …

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you to the Junior Minister for bringing good news actually for Bermuda. I was not quite sure which company the Honourable Member said. I just want to make sure, was he talking about Kempinski? Not Com . . . I do not know. He said “Com” something. Could he just clarify that for …

Yes. Thank you very much. And that is excellent news. Many of us would know this five-star establishment will do a fantastic job. Ariel Sands has been (my goodness!) the subject or on the table for this kind of development for many, many, many moons now. So it is good to see that there is some light at the end …

So, I will ask the question. I am still not convinced that when we state here that one of the conditions is that, you know, this place has to be 70 per cent manned by Bermudians within a few years. It seems a bit aggressive and just thrown out there. I do not know how we are making out with …

So again, we stated when the Act was passed many moons ago from 10 years to 15 years (not many moons, not so long ago) that this would bring up for any new development and any renovations coming up that they would be seeking 15 years as well. So, one of the challenges I have is that we were offering …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and good afternoon to yourself, colleagues and the public. Once again, I am glad to see that something is going to happen here of consequence. I must say that another Minister in a different capacity has talked quite a bit about some of the work that is being done and what to expect in the future. …
